Dewey’s #ReadAThon: Charity Reading for the Library

It is almost that time again! Oct 18th is the date for Dewey’s 24 ReadAThon Fall Edition and I am reading for charity again 🙂

This time I am going to switch it up a bit since I am a bit on the broke side. I am going to be reading for charity donations and dollars! Plus I think this is the perfect opportunity to show that there are several ways to give back!

Here is my plan:

Charity: I am reading for my 3 local libraries (Frisco, The Colony, and Plano)

How I am going to do it:

3 books donated for each book read (1 to each library)

1 Audiobooks for each hour listened (1 to each library)

.10 cents for each comment (divided between the libraries)

I hope I get picked to do the mini-challenge again: .10 cents for every entry in my mini-challenge (divided between the libraries)

$6 for each hour missed ($2 for each library)

Comments on this post .10 cents

How you can get involved:

Read for charity yourself. I did a warm up post last time that can help you with that. (Let me know if you do because I will highlight you at every 4 hour check-in)

Comment during the ReadAThon

Sponsor me for an hour, 2 hours, whatever. You can give to the charity of your choice (or my libraries) but this way you aren’t in for the whole time and it gives me extra incentive.

Get the word out about reading for charity! Make it a mission!

Donate time to the ReadAThon. Be a cheerleader and make sure to visit the blogs reading for charity to give them energy

Felicia is just your average gal from Texas that loves Audiobooks and Libraries with a passion! She can wine them, dine them, and love them forever. Her eclectic reading tastes include: Cozy Mysteries, Thrillers, Swoon-Worthy Romance of all kinds, Zombies, Urban Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and the occasional YA read.

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I think I’m going to miss out this October. When I participate, I want to be able to give it every hour I’ve got and Gena Showalter is signing in Dallas that day, so who knows how long I will be down there. I will be stopping by to cheer everyone on though!

I just put up my charity post. I decided I had to put a cap on my donation in case things got crazy. I want to donate as much as I can but not break the bank to do it. 🙂 Thank you so much for inspiring me to do this!!

Good luck! I’m not sure I could handle a 24-hour read-a-thon. Well, maybe I could if it was in an organized group setting LOL…but on my own, I don’t think I could do it. I hope you get lots of donations for your libraries!

Just a Note:

I am not a professional reviewer. In fact all I am is an opinionated reader. I give my POV about the books I choose to read. Most books I love (that happens when you choose what you read) but occasionally one lets me down. It is never personal (towards the author, publishing house, or editor)–it is just my personal reading experience. So please read all my reviews with that in mind.

Thanks-

Felicia the Geeky Blogger

About Donna

I'm a tax preparer who loves to read. I've been reading historical romance and history for a very long time. Thanks to my Mom for handing down her Victoria Holt, Mary Stuart, et al when I was in junior high and my Dad who bought me any book I wanted. He believed along with the James Bond, I'd read the classics too. But the biggest thanks goes to my elementary school librarian who made sure we all had something we'd enjoy to read. For me, she picked Queen Elizabeth & the Spanish Armada and Mary, Queen of Scots. Hooked me for life!

I never knew reviews were so important until I was "dragged" onto Facebook and found many friends who feel like I do about books. Now, I post my reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes& Noble and sometimes NetGalley. With thanks to Felicia, I get to post my reviews on the Geeky Blogger.
